i know that site from when i was still a teen and even then it was 99% fake creds. finding just one single working login in a whole week was like finding a treasure for me.
Guessing you're younger than me because when I was a teen, this site was AMAZING!
i'm almost 30 and was using (or trying to use..) the site when i was around 14-16 years old. dunno when the site first released thought. i stopped bothering after trying countless hours for weeks to use the site.. but people just spammed fake accounts.
Ah yeah that explains it, I've got a few years on you. Bugmenot has been around since the early 2000s
Come to think of it I think I may have heard about it from a magazine.
I kinda miss PC magazines. But then again, I kinda like not wasting paper more
Remember Demo discs though?
Hell yeah I do.
I still sometimes read them digitally from the library.
damn, I didn't expected BugMeNot being that old. Interesting.
Yeah, early 2000s was a great time for the internet. Tons of people making things and putting them on the internet for free or at the very worst, with a tiny ad from a banner ring at the bottom. Even early Facebook was awesome
when i was still in school, we always were allowed to used the computers from time to time to browse the internet. and websites had ads, hut it usually was 1-2 banners.. it didn't feel that extreme overloaded and i even looked at them. I thought they were uninteresting, but I didn't care much. this days i have a allergic reacting against all ads. going online without a adblock feels like websites slap me with a huge block of wood or stone directly into my face over and over and over.. it's crazy.
i really can't understand how this days people can still not go crazy without a adblocker.
Yeah, ads were fine until they started being invasive.
